摘要: There has been considerable controversy over the nosology of hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder (ADHD). have suggestions that genetic influences may play a role in origins individual differences on this dimension or dimensions behavior an understanding significance factors might help to clarify classification these disorders. Multiple regression is used analyze data from sample 91 pairs identical twins 105 same sex fraternal twins. The heritability extreme group membership (h2 g =0.75) was significant for activity rated by mother. one measures also =0.76). results are consistent with contribution levels abilities.
